Eddie B. is a Houston native and is single-handedly changing the comedy game, tapping into the minds of teachers around the world and selling out major arenas throughout the country in minutes.

The tour has established Eddie as the official voice of teachers across the globe. Educators from America to Africa, Dallas to Dubai, New York to New Delhi, and beyond, are getting a lesson in the funniest ways to express their worst frustrations, and they are loving every second of Eddie B.'s uncensored, raw and hysterically realistic portrayal of a teacher's hectic life from the point of view of an actual teacher.

Through a rigorous comedic set characterized by original material and accented by physical comedy, Eddie B. says what teachers everywhere are thinking but couldn't quite say out loud, until now! Millions of educators on social media are calling the Teacher's Only Comedy Tour their very own stress reliever and they are filling their favorite venues to capacity eager to hear Eddie B. speak their mind.
